Using msbuild worked for me. The developer who worked on our build told me that initially we had to move to building using devenv because we could not build our previous setup using msbuild.
Thanks everyone for your responses. -Moiz -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 11:28 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.; tomtr...@artizan.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem building a WIX project using devenv 2003 wasn't msbuild. Also certain project types ( VDPROJ for one ) are bastard stepchildren that don't do msbuild. I wrote about this a couple years ago: http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2007/05/proj-is-for-msbuild-projects.html As for solutions, basically msbuild reads, tranforms and emits an in-memory msbuild document that represents the sln file. One day sln will be an msbuild file proper. Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?
